Our readers have frequently been made aware of the interest we take in these exhibitions of Celtic music—not merely because it is Highland and venerable—but because it is pre-eminently the music of sentiment and passion. Speaking a distinct language, it touches natural feeling in a very high degree. It can excite warlike feeling—elevate to almost delirious joy —and, wliat we consider of far more importance, it can subdue to the very depths of wild and tender melancholy. It comes fitfully on the ear, like the wind sweeping over a forest or along the aides of a mountain. It makes us wander in reverie with the heroes of ()alien. It steals into our soul like the memory of days that are gone. It is this which makes us long fur the recurrence of these exhibitions; and we say, fearlessly, that indifference to this music betrays not merely a want of love for the picturesque, the striking, and the characteristic, but a want of relish for the great staple of music, which—even as a science—is valuable only in so far as it can ex cite gay, lofty, pathetic, or devotional feelings. Nothing else has lan enduring existence, in spite of all that fashion, professors, and allateurs, united, can accomplish. 'We have often remarked that the finer parts of the Highland musts are totally disregarded at these exhibitions, while the rapid —the kral-a-lurnla—unmeaning parts---protracted by way of sip ' peal to the gods, are sure of being rewarded with applatuie. The Judges and better part of the audience should endeavour to correct this. Sonic of he pipes were.new and hard; but, on the whole, there was no tidlitg off We were gratified especially with the performances of dr Boys. Angus Mackay we have heard with pleasure among his own mountains. The following details are from a paper of yeserday : This usual exhibition of the warlike music and ancient attire of . . Caledonia, and of thi favourite amusement of mountaineers, pur suant to previous a►.vertise►nent, was held on Monday in the Theatre Royal. The Theatre was opened at. 11 A. H. and at 12 a most fashionableaudience had assembled. This being, how ever, the first day of tie Edinburgh Races, as well as that of the County election,. the audience was not equally numerous as last year, or as on several tiller occasions, though it was in point of numbers, and still more in respect' of appearance, altogether a very respectably filled house. The assembled Highlanders who attended in full dress for competition, appeared on the rising of the curtain drawn up all around the stage, and amidst befitting and admirable stage scenery, from some of our national operas. , The assemblage of competitors, pipers, and dancer., appeared fully equal, in number and appearance to any former one on the same occasion ; and in the course of the enter. tainment and competition, both maintained their character most ably. Of dancing, not being exquisite judges ourselves, we can say but little, but may well say of it with the Hibernian of Ws trio, that they all " handled their legs bravely." With regard to the several performers on the bag-pipe, among whom there did not seem to be one indifferent player, we could not but share in a feeling, which we understand the Judges for several years pest have greatly complained of, of the difficulty of determining among so many nearly equal in merit. The number of competitors is now so great, com pared to the number of prizes, that it is next to impossible to satisfy all parties. After the competitors had played their several piobracha, which•. are always their own choice of a certain num ber, the Judges having retired to decide the prizes, an interlude of Highland reels to the Music of the bagpipe aud orchestra alter 'n►tely followed, much to the satisfaction of the audience. This, though extra of the entertainment, seemed to quicken the spirit and the heels of the Celtic tribe, more than any other part of the j day, exhibition. ,On return of the Judges to the box assigned to them, the Duke of Gordon returned thanks to the audience, in name of the Committee, and also to Mrs. Siddons and Mr. Mur ray, for the gratuitous use of the theatre for the occasion. His Grace then called upon John Gordon, piper to the Atli°Wand Weem farmers' club, to whom, with only two votes of an exception, the first prize had been unanimously awarded. On presenting him with the prize, a handsome pipe, suitably and superbly ornamented, his Grace „remarked with much kindness and condescension the great pleasure he felt, in having, ,under circumstances, the opportunity of presenting it to a ehlosv4o3,..ruld-hoarsar-wiehed he might not for many alongyeifir Be ever out of wind to use it." The noble Duke then presented the other prizes to the seve ral successful competitors as follows, viz, the second to Donald M'Donald, piper to the 72d Highland regiment ; the third to James Nfqkmald, son of Donald M'Donald, pipe maker in Edin burg ; the iburth, to Angus M'Kay, piper to Lady Gwydir, and the fifth to Donald Farquhar from Breadalbane, a boy of very great promise as a performer. The first, second, sad third prizes for dress were awarded to Malcolm M , Pliersou, Duncan Menzies, and Duncan M'lntyre. The venerable Duke accompanied the delivery of each prize with a short and suitable address. It would be almost an injustice not to remark, that for years past the greater part of the competitors, pipers particularly, have been from Perthshire.— Scotsman. " ANECDOTES OF WEBER. 'This eminent composer was invited to dine with Mr. L-, the music seller, whose residence and establishment art of a very handsome description. On entering the noble drawl room, the quiet German opened .his eyes, and looking round, ea" softly, as if to himself, " I see it is better to sell music than to write it. Weber got, perhaps, about 1 0001. .by his 'visit to England; 500/. for his Oberon, and other UMW for superintending rehearsals, leading the orchestra, concerts, and private parties, such as the Marquis of Hertford's, Mrs. Coutts', &c. for which 30 guineas were the fee. Mrs. Weher was of opinion, as her letters from Germany express, that her husband was not sufficiently recom penced; certainly if we compare his reward with the immense sums levied by less gifted foreigners, we also should think so. The truth is, that amusing talent is always paid, out of all propor tion, muck higher than greater abilities or genius. One of Weber's distinguishing excellencies was his suiting the sound in his composition to the sense of the words ; his music was twin sister to the poetry—a rare and exquisite quality. In one of the pieces , of Oberon, Miss Paton, with all ber tine powers and beautiful execution, failed to produce the edict aimed at by the composer. " I know not how it is," said she, " I never can do this as it should be." " The reason is," replied Weber, "because you do not know the words." A grander example of his feeling and judgment in this respect occurred when performing a hymn to the Deity. Some of the voices were in a high key. " Hush, hush !" exclaimed the genuine master, " hush !—if you were in the presence of God, would you speak loud ? SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LLOYDS'--JuNs 23. Mat, Ju xl 22.—Wind N. E. fine, weather.—.

CONSECRATION OF ST. JOHN'S CHAPEL, HOXTON. On Thursday, being the day appointed for the Consecration of this Chapel and burying-ground, by the Lord Bishop of London; a numerous congregation of the most respectable and opulent in habitant* of Shoreditch, assembled to witness the imposing cere mony. One thousand tickets were issued by the Churchwardens, and long before the arrival of the Bishop, every pew was occu pied. At a quarter past eleven, the Bishop of Chester arrived, and was almost immediately followed [by the Bishop of London. The Committee rangel themselves OT t each side the porch, and no hisl.ordship's arrival at the door, the music commenced, and the CoMmittee, Churchwardens, Rector, Minister, and Appari tor, preceded leis Lordship to the Vestry-room, the Chancellor, Chaplain, Vicar, and Registrar following in therear.—Whilst his Lordship was. robing, the Churchwardens and Committee eta- Coned themselves in front of the altar (partly down the middle aisle) is readiness to precede the Bishop is his perambulation. His Lordship, when robed, proceeded, ac.companied by hie officers, to the front of the altar, the music ceasing, when the Rector pre sented the petition to the •BialiOP seta delivered it to the Re gistrar w read, after which, the procession moved down the middle aisle, is the same order as before, the Clergy present following the Registrar, two and two, the Bishop repeating the 24th Palm, the Clergy and others making the responses. The Bishop and Chaplain then passed to the Communion Table, and the Chancellor end Registrar to the chairs outside.—.. The Rector presented the deeds to the Bishop, and the Chancellor; by the Bishop's direction, read-the sentence which was signed by his Lordship. The - Minister immediately after began the service, stopping after the Collect of the day. The Bishop then read a prayer, and after the appropriate lessons were gone through, the Charity Children sang the 6th, 7th, and Bth verses of the 26th Psalm, with Gloria Patri. The Communion Service havitig been read by the Bishop and Chaplain, in the usual solemn man ner, the children sung the 100th Psalm. The Bishop of'London then delivered au excellent sermon, from the 7th chapter of St. Luke, 22ilverse--." To the poor the Gospel is preached.' , After his Lordship's blessing, the music again played, and the Bishop Proceeded to the consecration of the burying-ground. After the [ procession had gone round the extensive burying-ground, they entered a tent,. erected for the purpose, when the Rector presented the deeds, and his Lordship having read the appointed prayers, the Charity Children sung the sth, 6th, and 7th verses of the 29th Psalm. The Bishop having given his final blessing, he was sc eorapaisied, al before, to the Vestry-room, where he unrobed, and was then attended in like manner to his carriage. The above beautiful and capacious chapel, has 88 pews, and above 1,000 seats for the accommodation of the poor, or those who cannot afford to pay for pew.; added to which it has a spacious gallery, on each side, capable of holding a considerable number of persons.

To Ms Awns, CANDIDATES, Commitners, and ELscraits.—Being anxious - to give the fullest and most correct account of the Elections throughoUt the 'Kingdom, we shall be very thanloid to any Gentle. man immediately interested, to favour us by post or otherwise, with the state of the Polling, and, other matters connected with the Election, in his Town or County. - PRESTON, Juwr 22 The folloising is the copy of the protest which Captain Barrie fuesented to the Mayor yesterday, and on which the Mayor ad journed the Court ; " To Nicholas Critnahaw, Esq., Mayor, and Joseph Bray, just., and William Nictiolson,Eoq., Bailiffs of the Borough of Pries t-on, in the County of Lancaster. • "In consequence of the violence and force which have been employed by the adherents of Mr. Wood and Mr. Cohbett, and by the employment,of which my voters have , been,. and are now, violently assaulted, and prevented from sonaing up to give their votes, I do hereby solemnly protest against your further proceed ing to take the votes of the Electors, until peace and freedom of election be restored, and my voters be permitted to have free ac cess to the hustings, in order to give their votes. ' (Signed) Itoexax " Wednesday, 21st June, 1826, quarter before one o'clock." We had no speeches from the candidates yesterday evening.— The agitation excited by the early adjournment of the Court yea terday has considerably subsided. The military have not yet ar rived ;• it is hoped that their presence will-not be necessary for the maintenance of order and tranquillity. Cobbett's.and Wood's friends again assembled this morning round the doer to Cobbett'e tally box in great numbers, and quite excluded the voters of their opponent. When the Court was opened, the 'Woodites rushed on the hustings, and filled Wood's and Cobbett'e tally-box, The MAYOR---Well, now, I hope all is right, all quiet and peaceable; if so, proceed to the poll. One of Captain Barrie's agents rose, and handed to the Mayor k paper containing a protest. The following is a copy # 4 To Nicholas Grimshavr, Esq. Mayor. " That my appearance on the hustings this day, an the ten dering of votes in my behalf may not be deemed an aconiesomee in the proceedings which have occurred, and against whi:l I have already protested, I do now renew my protest against the inter ruption of freedom of *teeth 71, which has taken place, fro►n vio lence, and menace, and intimidation, and do hereby declare that I reserve to myself full right to represent the same to the Commons House of Parliament, and to pursue all such means as I may be advised to adopt, in order to avoid and set aside the electio6 now going on. " ftoitr. Ilanask." " Thursday, June 22, 1826." The Mayor having declared the proceeding very remittable, the polling then cionmenced ; and Cohbett's men giving their second votes to Mr. Wood, the latter, of course, is polling two, and some times three votes to one of Captain Barrie'e. In the course of the morning some respectable friends of Captain Barrie applied at Cobbett's door for entrance to the hustings, and declared their intention, if admitted into Cobbett's tally-box', to give a vote for him.' They were caked to whim they would give their second—to Wood? No They were instantly repelled, and menaced with violence, if they should dire to approach that door again. Captain Barrie having learned the fact, stated it' to the Mayor, and complained again that the freedom of election was violateil by the obstructions' thrown in the way of hit votes. • A legal gentleman, in behalf of Mr. Cobbett (the only . pea le s/tan on Cobbett's side) retorted the charge of obstruction on Capt. Barrie and the Mayor, and stated that Mr. Cobbett had more voters than could he polled in ten days, if they were allowed to come to the poll book through all the avenues. The object *ought by the introduction of the military was nothing hut delay. The Afsiroa—Pin such thing. Cobbett's Agent--Tf Captain Berrie wants that Mr. Cobbett's box should be open to the Captain's voters, why not, on the sane principle, throw open the boxes of the other Candidates to Alr. Cobbett's voters ? Air. Cobbett's voters have sought admission into Mr. Stanley's box, and have been shut out—why then should Mr. Cobbett's box alone be open ? Captain COLQUIT—Becauw Mr. Cobbett himself declared that it should be open to all electors without distinction. Cobbett's A.gent—Thess barriers are the real obstruction. I protest against them—they ought to he removed. MAYOR—I had nothing to' do with the erection of them. The management of them was agreed on by all the Cendidetes—and I will not alter them till all the Candidates agree to the alteration. Captain BARRIZ—My voters came up to Mr. Cobbett's door for the purpose of voting; they were driven off. I claim protec tsction for them, front you, Sir (to the Mayor.) The MAYOA—If I were to interfere to obtain a free admission for voters at one door, I must obtain it for them at all the doom —if ! were to throw open one, I must throw open all the avenues.— (Applause. )—Common justice would compel me—but let us try t o go on with the polling quietly.—(To the constable) give free access to the electors from all quarters, right and left. Mr. STANLEY—I understood, Sir, at the opening of the elec tion, that you approved the arrangement of giving separate avenues to the voters of each Candidate. The polling then commenced, and proceeded with tolerable re gularity till half-put eleven o'clock. At that hour one of Captain Barrie's seta of voters marched from his tally-room towards the door of their tally-box. They were preceded by . music and a standard representing an anchor. The crowd who stood to guard Cobbett's door, took a liking to the handsome standard— set up a yell—abandoned their own door..—and rushed at the Cap tain's anchor and voters. The Blues, unarmed and few, took to their heels, headed by the fiying standard. The Greens pursued them, overtook them, and proceeded to knock them down with their short thick bludgeons. Cobbett's ruffians, in their eager ness for mischief, obstructed each other. The majority of the Captain's voter* escaped into his door; among the rest, the standard-bearer, who Appeared so anxious to avoid th e di sgrace o f losing his colours, and the slight collateral inconve n i ence o f getting a broken head, that lie was the tiret to dart into cover— foremost eveti in the retreat. The Cobbetitei and Woodites then returned to Cobbett's door, after three cheers, and resumed their watch and ward. A party of them, in their ferocious exultation, had the audacity to rush into the court-yard where the hustings stand, and to brandish their weapons in front of the polling booth, within view of the Mayor. The Mayor ordered the Constables to go and seize them. The Constables looked at their ferocious appearance and thick staves, and then looked at the Mayor, and then remained just were they were—absolutely awed by the savage appearance of the mob. Captain BA Kali stated that the civil power was overawed-- that his voters were prevented by force from coming to the poll, and demanded the presence of the military for them. Mr. STANLICY made the same request, in his own name and that of Mr. Wood. The Mairoa declared that the civil powq was not sufficient to preserve the peace. The freedom of election had been violated by the violence of an armed mob—an organised moh..—a mob authorised by one of the Candidates.—(Supposed to be Mr. Cob bett.)—He regretted the conduct of this day's snob as an inhabi tant of Preston. Ile had done every thing its his power to pre serve the peace, and to give justice to every party. He appealed to the gentlemen around him, whether he bad not ?_(°' You have, you have. ") —He had not interfered for any party ; Ise bad shunned communication with any of them : he had mussed to re vide in his own hoose, in order to avoid it. The civil power had been overawed in its own tight. lie hail received a requisition from three of the Candidates to call in the military. They were within call. If the people would not maintain the peace, h e should suspend the polling, and adjourn the Court until he had such a force as could correct the irregularities of the authorised mob of rioters. Svarrixs, expressed his disapprobation of the conduct of the voters. Mr. 'Woos disclaimed all connexion with them. c apta i n jd a Rai a contended that there was no freedom , if election whilst his voters were repulsed from the hustings by violence. Au Elector..--Ves, there is freedom of election. Th. Maros—Freedom of election and broken heads I—That'e Am odd sort of freedom. Reel followed ocKtfusion, altercation , interruption, criminitior and recrimination. Several minute. pawl before order could b. restored. The polling then proceeded. Several men carotid with blood have passed by ; the fruity of Cobbitt's mob's attack on the standard. ilar.r-eata. Two. Mr. Stanley has just presented to the Mayor a requisition sigma by several electo►s, calling on him to keep the poll open till eight o'clock this evening, in order to make up for the loss of time caused by the early adjournment of yesterday. The Mayor declares his willingness to commence the polling at the usual hour every morning, for the remaining days, and to sr tend it to seven o'clock instead of five. Mr. Wood consents to the extension of the time, every even ing hut this. Captain Barrie roady to met , to ally regulation made by the Mayo!... obbet cc as sent for—he will neither MOM nor dissent, but levee the Mayor to act according to law., and accuses the Mayor of partiality. IMA YOR-I assure you that I shall consult you neither on law nor good manners. As all the candidates have not agreed, I CU nut accede to the requisition. Go on with the polling. A person attempted to make a speech from Cobbett's hutting, in the course of the confusion. The Mayor( instantly interrupted him—You are a stranger'; fou eke not an elector, nor even an inbithitint of Preston. blow who you are ; T have observed your disorderly conduct fca several days ; you lava no right to come on these hustings. You are a clergyman; your conduct is disgraceful to your protistion, and the cause you support. You have disgraced yourself and your friends; you shall not say another wont. Silence. The person appeared overwhelmed by this animated address, and took no further pert in the proceedings. lie is, or has been, a Roman Catholic. FOUR O'CLOCK. Mr. Stanley Las conducted 'himself through the day in a man ner the must manly, judicious, and honourable. 'Wood Ilse acted with all the calculating caution of his profession—the law. Cap tain Barrie has been straight-forward, blunt, plain-speaking, and not indignant; while Cobbett's severe sarcasm, and furious pm. sions, have been represented to the life by the bludgeons and blows of lua ruffian rabble. Cabbett has sold his banners, staftMen, band, committee, jetty, shuns, and mob, to Wood. lie is as furious as a baited bull. He has not been yet allowed to unmunle the rage which he feels at yesterday's adjournment. We shall have him tearing away in all his glory this evening on theymmtings. Men's mouths are full of nothing but vows and conflicts—watt and rumours of wars. The women's tongues are so many lis its; lists of the killed and wounded. No elcetors in England have 44 more of the lieges slain and mairnicl, in imagination, then this Royal Borough of Preston. We have certainly had some brutal rutliattiam i and obeli have more of it ; but I expect that at the dust close of the poll on Monday nest, we shall be Able to eat all we shall have killed. The Catholies (the lower orders) have commenced taking the 'rest Oath to-day. The respectable Boman Catholics have cautiously abstained from any interference with the election. They are not friends of Cobbett ; Mr. Stanley appear' to be their particular favourite. Thursday Evening, June /22, Half-put Nur (Nth Day). Day's Poll. Gross Poll. Dayta Pot Gross Poll, Stanley 297 1707 Barrie 185 985 Wood 105 111 x Cobbett 95 ' 747 SOMERSET.—henrsTra, .1i NN The polling I. going on very languidly with all the Candidates. Sir Thomas Lethbridge did not appear in the Court-house, not in the town, during the day, nor was his son, who accompanied him through the former: part of the contest to the hustings each day, to be seen. Mr. Dickinson was at his post, and was in con stant conversation With some one or other of his humble friends during the seven hours of polling. • Mr. Hunt was in and out of the Court-house and the polling booths very frequently ; some times inquiring into the qualifications, of the voters for the other Candidates, and sometimes giving directions to those who have undertaken to bring up his troops, as to the future operation& with respect to the grand effort be has promised to make at the latter end of next week. At five o'clock the poll clerks exhibited their books to the High Sheriff, who stated the numbers polled that day were* Dickinson, 252 ; Lethbridge, VO9 ; pant, 57. And that the aggregate polling Was— Dickinson, 104; Lethbridge, 1,083 ; Hunt, g 96. Mr. Dscittisox said, he was extremely unwilling to break through the established rule of leaving it to the poll to exhibit the grateful feelings of the candidates for the favour of the freeholders. He was as little disposed as any man could he to return thank* for the sake of speaking ; he was in the habit of letting the poll speak for itself; but there was something eo extraordinary in the occurrences of this contest, that he could not help addressing tho worthy freeholders who had gathered together to chew their rat pect for him.....(Cheers.)—He felt truly grateful for the honour they had done htm that day. Mr. Huns--With your permission, Mr. Iligh Sheriff, ask Mr. Dickinson a question, before I thank my freeholders. You (to Mr. Dickinson) said yesterday, Sir, that you were in posses sion of some particulars of my private history, which particulars you threatened you would use upon whatever occasion you thought it expedient. Now I call upon you to mention all those particu. lets publicly, and not keep them to yourself until my back is turned.—(Cheers and hisses. )--I am prepared to answer any charge, whatever it may be, this moment; and I shall expect you will have more candour than to depend upon newspaper para. graphs for your proof. I shall expect you will prove what you may assert, and you may rely upon an immediate answer. Mr. Dims/sox—Mr. thigh Sheriff, I did say that I was in possession of some information relative to the-public and pril vete character of Mr. hunt; and I said ales that I should re serve that information for any occasion On which might be ate tacked as I had been attacked at Bridgewater. I think I may say that I am in possession of the whole history of that gentlemen's public and private character; but I wish him roost distinctly to understand, that I shall, in using those documents, exercise my own discretion.--(Cheers and hisses.)-1 shall use them whet* and when I please, without being itiflueneed by hint. At the same time, I distinctly deny that I contemplated charging him behind his back.---(Cheers.) Mr. fluter—Freeholders, and Ladies you do us the honour of coining amongst us !
